I'm new to blogging so bear with me as I wander through the vines. The vines on my husbands side include Brewer, George, House and Prewett. Mine include Danchak, Doran, Dushek, McCrosky, McLaughlin, Rosa, and Stroud.

George is my husband's maternal line. The oldest George ancester I've found (so far!) is Mathew George (June 20, 1804 - Nov. 17, 1879), who I've already written about here and here. His second wife was Sarah Van Skike with whom he had twelve children. We're interested in his fifth child, Francis.

Francis Marion George was born on March 26, 1855 in Iowa. On July 3, 1879 he married Annie Laurie Brewer in Soldier, Jackson Co., Kansas. He died June 8, 1930 in Topeka, Shawnee Co., Kansas. They had the following children:

Rosa Nellie George - born July 11, 1881 (who married William Henry Bland)

Andrew Thomas George - born Aug. 31, 1883 and died Aug. 8, 1885

Susie Elmira George - born Sept. 29, 1886 (who married August Herde)

Goldie Malinda George - born May 11, 18888 (who ran off with William Henry Bland)

Otto Marion George was born in Soldier, Jackson Co., Kansas on Oct. 14, 1897. In 1919 he married Florence Manda King (daughter of Francis M King and Lucinda Hunt). He died on his birthday in 1969 in Bakersfield, California. He and Florence had five children:
